Actually Perna, I disagree strongly. Looking up someone does tell you about a person.
For example, if you find that the person gives donations to a charity, it tells you that the person supports that cause and most likely there is a personal reason behind that donation.

If you find a posting about a person taking part in a Race for the Cure footrace, that tells you several things about that person.

If you find that the person goes to a certain church, it gives you insight into their religious beliefs.

If you find an obituary of a dead child, that tells you a great deal about the person as well.

If you find that the T lives in a certain part of town -- that can tell you alot as well. In my city, there are clear distinctions where people with "more money live, vs. "where liberals live" vs. "where gays lives" vs. "where poor people live" vs. "where the highly educated live" etc.


The appropriate thing to do is to stop searching the internet and ask the T. Then the T will have the right to answer the questions or say that the T's life is private.

But from the past interaction, it seems that Rainbow's T is not comfortable with her/him intruding into T's life. Talking about it forever is one thing, acting on it and choosing to behave disrespectfully is another.
Thanks for this!
